In another column will be found the extract of a private letter from Bmyrita, which takes a very vourable view of the Greekeause. A Smyrna Paper states, that M. ROGER, Aide-de-Camp to the French Ambassador at Constantinople, had recently arrived in Smyrna, and immediately embarked in a French brig of war in quest of Admiral DE RIG NY, with a view, as report stated, of giving him orders to join the Austrian division, in order to put an end to the piracies committed under the Greek flag. Frankfort Papers of the 7th inst. have likewise reached us this forenoon. They contain nothing but what has been given in another column from Smyrna, through other channels. It is added, however, that France at length, weary of the daily insults offered to its nag, has ordered her Admiral in the Levant to pursue all Greek ships without exception, since they are ahnost, without exception, all pirates. Colonel FABvIER, who has been sent to Athens to assist GOURA, has been bnperiously ordered by that Chief to leave, the city, " which," says he, " is in no danger so long as my arm can wield a sword." Letters were received in town yesterday from Riga to the 30th June, by which we learn, that in conse quence of the excessively dry weather, which had con tinued for a great length of time there, the new crop of flax was likely to prove a short one. The crops generally had been injured by the same cause. Hemp was, however, steady in price, but linseed rather higher.

No mention is made of the arrival of Sir CHARLES STUA RT, as stated in tne rrencn' Papers, nor do they contain any intelligence of interest relative to the affairs of Brazil, or the resolution of the Emperor. LISBON, JUNE 30.. The Gazette of thil date contains three bulletins of the health of the Princess Regent, dated Caldas da Rainha, the latest of alto 27th June. Her Royal Highneis, with her two sisters, the Infuntati Donna Maria D'Assumpcao sand Donna Anna de Jesus, arrived at that place on the 22d, in the evening. She had begun to drink the waters on the 23d, and had already derived great benefit from them; her appetite was improved, and she was daily gaining strength. Ala 1.--The Gazette contains an advertisement from the war-office addressed to the Commissioners appointed to distribute the prize-money due to the troops engag e d in the peninsular war. The Commissioners are directed nottO receive any elaims after the 10 th August next, as it it not just that the distribution of the prize-money should be longer delayed. OPORTO, JUNE 24.

The Crown Prince of Prussia, arrived at the Hague the day before yesterday. We learn that the. health of the Prince de Mean, Arch bishop of Malines, is.so tar improved, that for some days past this respectable primate of the Belgic church has been able to attend to the administration of the affairs of his diocese. 9.--Lady Wellesley, the Ambassadress of Eng land at Vienna, and her su i te , arrived here yesterday evening from London. JULY 10.—Baron Pagel, Minister of the Netherlands to the Court of France, arrived here yesterday, coming from Paris, on his w a y to t h e H ague. The four young men who were arrested on account of the disturbance at the Theatre Royal, On the 4th of this month, have been set'at liberty on giving bail. We learn from the Hague, that the affair relative to the fortifications in the southern provinces, which was under examination before the .High Court at Utrecht, will be biought before a Court of Assize in these provinces. It said that the accusation extends to 20 persons. The Provincial Estates of Liege have resolved to peti- Won the Government for further measures to prevent the importation of foreign grain, i n t h e hope of relieving the itstress, of which the farmers still complain.

At the sitting of the Court, a- gentleman behind the bar rose to mention a matter in lunacy, but as soon as his :Lordship heard the word lunacy, be expressed, himself in the following terms : -" I shall hear no matter in lunacy. I hive no objection to this—with respect - to any petition in lunacy; that any gentleman feels a necessity for having a speedy determination upon ; 1 shall, in every such ease take the petition with me to read, and then say what I ,think of it; but I never shall again confirm a master's re port in lunacy, without having read both the petition and the report, merely upon what may be stated to me at the bar," Mr. Lynch . soon after this statement, made, his appearance in Court, whose presence occasioned what follows. On the day before yesterday, he presented a petition in the matter of Webb and Lord Shaftes bury, praying the confirmation of the Master's re port. His Lordship refused .to confirm it, till he had read the papers; and being asked to see them, his opi nion will be collected from these words :—" Now, Mr. Lynch, you will allow me to mention also, that I am not satisfied with the report in lunacy, respecting the buildings at Peckham ; and that is another instance proving that it is a mere farce to confirm a report in lunacy, without see ing what it is. I have mentioned this to the Master, as being my mind of the thing. The question here is, whe ther I ought to confirm a report, granting a lease of land for 99 years, to build four hous es u p on , each of which is to cost .500/. in building, as b e i ng beneficial to the luna tic's estate ? Now, I feel a g r eat difficulty in lay ing an onus on a lunati c ' s estate , i n compliment to these houses, that are only to cost .500/. each. I must have an affidavit distinctly stating, that it will be for the benefit of the lunatic's estate that such a report should be confirmed." Mr. Lynch.—But your Lordship will observe, the rent is to be an increasing rent, from 20 to 1001. a-year. His. Lordship.—Never mind that.. You will give me leave to say, that the houses are .only to cost 4500/. each, and what sort of things must they be ? I desire to have an affidavit on the subject. But the thing I, am ex tremely anxious to impress is this—there have always been days set apart for hearing lunacies—it has been supposed that a great deal of time is not given to lunacies ; now I take leave to contradict that, for I take it to be the duty of the Chancellor to read all the petitions and the reports. But if, day after day, gentle men are instructed to come here and ask that a Master's report may be confirmed, when it is utterly impossible the Chancellor can know any thing of it, that is nothing more than what just amounts to a farce! It is not that I wish to delay a decision, and therefore what I now offer to the Bar is, that if any gentleman wishes to mention a lunatic petition which he considers pressing, if he will give me the papers, for instance, to-day, I shall read them to-night, and be prepared to hear the application to-morrow morning. But to ask to have reports confirmed which ought not to be confirmed, is nothing more than a pure waste of time and expellees. It is attended besides with a great degree of in convenience and expense, occasioned in this way; that the secretary of lunatics' not being here, he does not know what passes, but it gives the Registrar a duty which does not belong to him, and which creates confusion, expense, and delay, though it was, intended to be otherwise. STEWART V. LORD BUTE. Ilia Lordship intimated that he had fully made up his mind in this ease, and that therefore he will give judg ment to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET----(Tnta Div.) George Sidney was fined twenty pounds for having, published at Hammersmith, a hand-bill, without the printer's name annexed to it. He acknoWledged himself to be the' author and publiSher; and his solicitor contended that 'the' object of the thirty ninth of George the' Third, in 'requiring the printer's name was to find out the author, which, in this case, being discovered, the printer was exempt from the penalty. But Sir Richard held that the clause respecting printers did not admit of that excep 0911_N,atplihe„knalty was at:eordipsi l y l inflieted.

ACCIDENTS BY LIGHTNINtIe---During a violent storm of thunder and lightning on Tuesday se'unight, a man walking on the road between York and Tad ' caster was struck down and killed on the spot. He was carrying some wire on his back, and, though warned of his danger and recommended to put it down, he unfortunately persisted in a refusal, though it was evident the wire attracted the electric fluid. The next flash deprived him of life. A fine young womni at work in the field, near Cattle, in the county of York, during the storm on Wednesday, .went to fetch her gown which was under a tree ; at that instant the discharge of a cloud took place, which struck the tree and killed her on the spot. She was found on fire, and also bruised by pieces, of the tree. Many losses have been sustained by the death of horses, cows, and sheep, which were struck with lightning. A farmer fit New Monckton, near York, lost 4 ewes and 2 lambs ; they were under a tree when the electric fluid exploded. • The tree was set on fire, and continued burning for two days. Loan COCIIRANE.—We have been informed, upon good authority, that another steam-boat is build ing by private subscription for Lord Cochrane. It is to be upon the improved American principle, by which it is calculated that one bushel of coals will go as far as twenty. It is not true that Lord Cochrane intends commencing his operations by an attack on the Turkish ports. His aim will rather he to run under the Turkish ships of war, and riddle them with his sixty-eight pounders. By thus disabling the fleet, lie will put it out of their power to relieve the Turkish garrisons, and• he may then very possibly sail against Turkey itself. --Edinburgh Observer. When Descartes resided in Holland, with great labour and industry he made a female automaton, which occasioned some wicked wits to publish that he had an illegitimate daughter. Having put this sin ' gular machine into a case, on board a vessel, the ' captain who was a Dutchman, sometimes heard it move, and having the curiosity to open the box, was astonished to see a little human form, extremely ani mated, yet apparently nothing but wood ; little versed in science, and very much addicted to superstition, be took the ingenious labour of the Philosopher for a little devili.and terminated the experiment of Descartes, by throwing his wooden daughter into the sea. Yesterday Count Lottum, Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the Kiag of Prussia at the Court of London, jointly with Mr. N. M.

The Laird of M , Nab was very fond of shooting, but had never seen hounds till rather at a late period in life ; being, on a visit to a friend in the south, he was persuaded to go out hunting. As might have been expected, he fell off' at the first leap, and his friend rode up and asked him with some anxiety if be was hurt. " Not at all," said M , Nab, " but I like shooting much better." The march of intellect that our modern great men are so fond of talking about, is making such rapid marches, that shortly we shall have no servants to attend to us. The other day, as a carriage, with four horses, was rapidly proceeding, the footman behind cried out, " Stop, postillions, I have dropt the first wolume of Ridgauntlet." And a woman servant was detected the other night fast asleep in bed, with a novel in one band, and the remains of a large mould candle, No. 6, in the other ; and, when talked to about it, her reply was, " Why, 0 Sir, my mistress reads novels, and Miss ------, and why should I not do the same P—l wants information as well as they." The Living Skeleton that' was over in London grew so fat with good living, during the period of his exhibition, that the showman was obliged to dis charge him, and send him home to France, where, by this time, without doubt, he is shown about the fairs as the French Dan Lambert. While he was waxing lustier and lustier' every day, people continued to visit him, and to wonder at him still as the " Living Skeleton," till, in an unlucky hour, a matter-of-fact mathematical kind of man dropped in, and asked, "Is that the s rather e Living r a Skeleton corpulent gentleman. mso my isleoeut this the showman,perceivu for the' first time, the aggrandise ment of his prodigy s person, cried, " Lord, sir, so he is !

Several of the principal speculator" were here yesterday after noon, and some engagements were made on the St. Leger Stakes; the odds, however, did not vary in any important degree from the last accounts received from Newmarket. At the sporting houses in the west some bets have been made on the Preston Cup, but Doctor Fax:lotus has, .of course _gone back, in consequence of hav ing been beat there on Tuesdi:y. The only bets of consequence were, S to 1 on the field for the St. Leier (on condition of 1.-iing 9. to 'I apt Bedlaniite), and 3 to '1 agst Lugborough for the Gloucestershire Stakes at Cheltenham. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. NEWMARICEP, THURSDAY NIGHT. The July Meeetiug terminated this afternoon, and we are eon strained to admit that it has not afforded no much or such rood sport as could have been wished . ; and that the company has been less numerous than at past meetings. The state of the weather, unfavourable for horse-racing, has, in some degree operated against these, as well as other races ; but many other MMUS may be quoted for the non-attendance of a great number of our usual vi sitors : amongst Which, as the most powerful, we may state the lamented indisposition of his Royal Highness the Duke of York; the imperative necessity of attending contested elections, with their various consequent engagements ; also the occurrence of Preston and other races at the same times ; besides other causes which it would be'superfluous to mention. It would be unjust not to state, that the most liberal spirit has pervaded all those who were here, the greatest anxiety being ma nifested to make the sport as attractive as possible. From the' meagre appearance of the list this morning, few gave themselves the trduble to visit the Heath ; so that, in a very short time after the Sweepstakes were decided, the town was emptied, as if by magic. Not a strange face is now to be seen, so few are the inducements to remain here out of race-time ; for, in fact, Newmarket, taken per as, is the reverse of attractive. The Noblemen and Gentlemen on the Course were, Lords Low ther, Anson, Orford, Cavendish, Bentinck ; General Grosvenor, Colonel Udny, Captain Hunter, Mr. Greville, and some few others ; and, of general company, about a tithe of those who at tended on Monday and Tuesday. The betting, both last night and this morning, was that in the extreme; it was confined to a few homes on the St. Leger, Pres ton Cup, and Gloucestershire (Cheltenham) stakes. For the Cup t !..ongwaist was not backed, as it was said that he would not start.—The odds stand thus : GLOIICESTIMSIIIICE STAETS. 5 to 2 agst Lugborough I 7 to 2 apt 81takspiare 6 tot agst Toil and Trouble.
